Ze Shows Anime Pulse

This week on Anime Pulse we got dishonorable gangs, cat sitting, and a loli running an entire Inn. Up first Joseph's OCD is in full swing as he is cleaning out the entire kitchen while babysitting some cats, and Andrew asks another complicated question that doesn't see much participation. Then in the industry news Sailor Moon wants you to eat her sausage, the new Beach series gets a premier date, and the art director of Berserk and Revolutionary Girl Utena dies. And lastly reviews have Joseph fighting to stay away from his waifus in a video game world, and Andrew checks in at an inn run by a loli and haunted by a ghost loli.

Tickets! Get your tickets ready! We’re on a triple stop trip through Locoville, Madness Junction, and Crazytown. No matter where you’re going, we’re sure you have baggage so please make sure that’s stowed. Baggage may also be passed on to relatives or small children. There will be no drinks or snacks served and the dining car is closed. Take your meds and strap in. We’ve got Bullet Train[2022] with Brad Pitt. He plays some sort of contractor who’s sent to collect a briefcase on a train. Simple enough until it turns out the case is full of ransom money to be paid to a gang leader. Also people begin dying … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 181: Train Your Bullet"

This week on Anime Pulse we got Japan trying to get rid of antiquated technology, Lupin the III in 2022, and the anime that personify you. Up first Joseph is trying a new thing called "buying his dinners at the grocery store", and Andrew's arms are wicked tired after flying back into London. Then in the industry news Japan wants more foreign students, cute girls doing war crime things, and we get another season of a golden immortal good guy. And finally we've returned to full reviews as Joseph uncovers his dark history which led to him being a brilliant thief, and Andrew creates a virtual avatar so he can unleash his vocal prowess upon a dragon.

We don’t have a lot of thoughts in the head today. It’s probably all those fumes from trying to strike oil out in the field so we don’t have to work anymore. That or it was getting beer bottles thrown at our head from digging in some random field looking for oil. Turns out property owners don’t care for trespassers. At least we’ll always have out manga. Tim has The Knight of Embers. There’s some group of heroes called knights who have people try out to join their organization. Onf of them, Najin, goes home to visit before his chunnin, er, knight exam to visit with his twin, Nagyuun. Who … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 476: Embers of Lust"

A special presentation brought to you by Tim and Weltall. We talk about the bad at Nan Desu Kan 2022. Not because we hate it, but because we don’t.

This week on Anime Pulse we got the return of Joseph, the end of a Tokyo Icon, and sexy dark elves. Up first Joseph recaps his trip to Florida and subsequent summer cold, and Andrew would like to know what anime protagonists we feel for. Then in the industry news a One Piece film makes a lot of yen, and Project G is announced for excited mecha fans everywhere. Lastly we have a special Gattai episode as Joseph continues to play the Fantasy Kingdom Simulator, and Andrew raises some orphan girls to defend Earth from Animus.

This week on VG Pulse, it’s almost vacation time! We start off with side notes about going to our local farm fair, and Millennium shares some exciting news about something he’s been working on for awhile!! Afterwards we dive into the news where we discuss everything that was announced at Gamescom, news about the upcoming Splatoon 3, Sony and Tencent acquiring way too many stocks of FromSoftware, and news about the newest upcoming title of the Dark Pictures Anthology! After the news we go through the Discord Discussions, and Millennium and I give a joint review of Project Zomboid! We finish off with talk of anime! All this and more … Continue reading "VG Pulse 378: Wake Us Up When August Ends"

Was the seventies a disaster? We like to think so. Carter was in office. Oil Embargos were happening. Nuclear power plants were being protested. Disco was on the rise. Hollywood must have assumed it was the end times and found a love of the disaster film. So we grabbed a few for the show. We kick it off with a large block buster affair. The Towering Inferno(1974). A brand new skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles is about to open. It’s super advanced and the safest tower ever built. Until Paul Newman finds that some of the wiring was not up to his spec as a sub-contractor cut corners to take … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 180: Towering China"

Hey there Anime Pulse listeners, it is I, Andrew! Usurping the throne that is the Anime Pulse host for the week I have also summoned a heero from the community to serve as a guest. We start of with some introductions from Heero also going by Matthew as he talks about his anime experience and what he’s been up to lately. For the industry news Matthew covers developments for anime live events, from the Crunchyroll Awards to a new iteration of Anime Expo, meanwhile talk about the final nail in the coffin that was the Vic Mignogna defamation lawsuit. Finally there’s the Previews where Heero pursues romance in the healthiest … Continue reading "Episode 766: Summer 2022 Previews #6"

Coming to you straight from the home of the Keebler elves. No, not wherever some factory that Nabisco claims to own. We’re doing this now from a tree in the middle of the woods. Around us lay the corpses of those that dared so stand in the way of our hunger for grasshopper cookies. The rest are hiding out in the back, cranking on the cookie machine. Which means we’re here and, like the only proper oreo, double stuffed with reviews. Tim has a new entry in manwha with Hell 58. In the future of Terra, there’s crime. The best way to deal with evil criminals is to consign them … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 475: Elder Hell"

Well, the patron saint of our show finally did a movie that was meta. So naturally we had to do it. Nicolas Cage in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent[2022]. Cage plays Cage, an actor who was better respected once and needs work. Which leads him to taking a gig doing a birthday engagement for a wealthy man who is a cartel leader. Pedro Pascal plays the head of the cartel who also happens to be a massive fan of Cage. The CIA recruits cage to help them find the kidnapped daughter of a Spanish Presidential candidate who was taken by the cartel. So Cage sticks around by offering to … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 179: Unbearable Cage"

This week on Anime Pulse we got Not-Sagiri, Shinto Shrines exploding, and a lack of IRL news. Up first Joseph has nothing to say beyond he's ready for Florida, and Andrew is jumping the shark in this week's community segment. Then in the industry news we learn that COVID has turned ravenous otaku into model citizens, Kirby had an anime, and Bleach's latest arc is rumored to be available only on The Mouse. And lately our final previews episode has Joseph delving back into a dungeon to pickup girls and fight huge moss, while Andrew tries to be a proper lady by drinking tea at a cafe for retired weapons of mass destruction.

This week on Anime Pulse we got a terrible loss of aquatic life, isekai slaves, and crumpets. Up first Joseph has two new UK foods he's tried, and Andrew is ready to assign us our own Gojo-kun to get our cosplay on. Then in the industry news we hear about a robbery that goes very wrong for the owner of the site, and an end to Right Stuff's erotic material as they become acquired by the monopoly that is Crunchyroll. And finally another previews show has Joseph saving up gold in another world to buy a slave but then can't bring himself to sex her, and Andrew is employee of the month at MgRonalds after meeting a vampire at night.

With all the targeted marketing branching out, I have an idea. There’s an underutilized market that’s ripe for tapping. The boomers. You might counter that they see foreign comics as degenerate. I counter that there’s a large chunk of them that are secretly degenerates and can be swayed by the argument that it’s art. Or just blast their DMs with animu titties and they’ll eventually come around. Tim has Get Schooled. A manwha that would make the actual boomers as excited as an anteater in the insect pavilion. It’s set in the vaguely immediate future of South Korea. Schools have become a nightmare after the banning of corporal punishment resulting … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 474: School the Bitch"

This week on Anime Pulse we got driving on a suspended license, Yakuza: Like a Babysitter, and anime that the FBI might come after you for watching. Up first Joseph has to spend a boatload of the money he was trying to save up for his upcoming vacation to Florida, and Andrew is wire-free as he asks us to expose our deep dark anime search history. Then in the industry news a solo topic and a timely one, as a man drives for over 50 tears without a proper license. And finally another previews episode as Joseph wakes up from a 17-year coma in another world and has to babysit his boss's daughter, and Andrew goes even deeper into the abyss to discover more KATETO-SAMA.

Have you ever just sat in a spaceship and wanted to drive? You know I was a Tesla Mars customer before I ever did ads. Even without the chip in by brains screaming at me to be loyal to the Emperor Musk. Even before all of that, Matthew McConaughey did other things. Like be the titular Joe in Killer Joe[2011]. A nineties play which had spent quite a bit of of time floating through development hell. With all sorts of actors champing at the bit to land roles it finally got adapted with McConaughey as Joe. Broke family in a trailer park comes up with a plan to have a … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 178: Tim’s Audio Sucks"

Andrew's an idiot and lost his half of the Previews for Anime Pulse 762 (the part in the anime podcast where we talk about anime..). So here's a re-recording of the anime coverage in case you're interested.

This week on VG Pulse, cats win the internet. We start off with side notes of work life and summer life, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the (maybe?) revival of E3, the tragic loss of a young member of the Minecraft community, another rant about the implications of pushing for online-only, discussions about the implications of even more small studios being absorbed up by larger studios, and some great mods for Stray! Speaking of that, we head off to the reviews, where I discuss the catastic world of Stray and all of it’s beautiful furry ways, while Millennium updates the review for World of Tanks! We … Continue reading "VG Pulse 377: One Cat To Rule The Internet"

This week on Anime Pulse we got good gatcha luck, the return of Vic, and a man Joseph hates as much as Andrew hates Rent-a-Girlfriend's Kazuya. First up Joseph got all the 5-starts he wanted in the recent summer FGO event, and Andrew asks us to look way into the future and think if you'll be watching anime still. Then in the industry news we have topics like a man doing his best to ruin the environment, and Seven Seas being a shitty publisher attempting to appeal to the LGBT community by turning a man trans. And finally in the previews Joseph summons a sexy Onee-san demon to kill a deadbeat loser who keeps turning down paying work, and Andrew loses all his previews to the data sea and can't recover them.

This week on Anime Pulse we got hot new summer anime, the latest COVID vaccine craze, and teacakes. Up first Joseph talks about the Tunnock's Milk Chocolate Teacakes and his new aversion to chocolate, meanwhile Andrew is curious about how our tastes in anime have matured. Then in the industry news a follow up to the death of the Yu-Gi-Oh creator, and the creator of Love Hina! wins election for Japanese Parliament. And finally we kick off a new season of anime with Joseph starting life in a new world as an overpowered skeleton, and Andrew defends the skies as a comedic witch.
